Since 1973 there have been several flyby missions many with objectives including gathering data about Jupiter, its moons, mass, radiation environment, etc. In order, Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, Ulysses, Cassini, and New Horizons. To date the only probe to orbit the planet has been the Galileo orbiter which arrived in 1995, which also sent an atmospheric probe. Another probe Juno, launched in 2011, is expected to enter Jupiter polar orbit in 2016; the ESA has scheduled a further mission JUICE scheduled for 2022. Because of the possibility of life, there is significant interest in some of the Jovian moons.

Detailed descriptions of the above missions are available from various sources on the internet.
